Chapter 141: The Great Battle Begins
The moment Yun Yi stepped out of the City Master’s residence, he let out a heavy sigh, his mood as heavy as possible, but it was not yet time to vent.
The despair of the young girls constantly appeared before Yun Yi’s eyes, making it impossible for him to forget.
Fortunately, all of this would soon come to an end; after tonight, Jade Wheel City would be a different scene.
But tonight, rivers of blood would flow here; Jade Wheel City was about to face the true test of war.
The back mountain was a series of rolling hills, composed of low mounds that were not part of any large mountain range.
In fact, this place was just an empty land with nothing useful growing; not even a single demon beast existed here.
At this moment, the back mountain was filled with people in dark clothing, stacked in layers, all City Master’s soldiers, a sea of black with at least two or three thousand individuals.
What truly caught Yun Yi’s attention was a black altar placed atop a low hill, towering seven or eight feet high, as dark as ink, covered in symbols of black that all resembled skulls.
Black smoke continuously rose from the altar, filling the mountains around and making the whole area look like a dark hell.
On the altar, a strong figure sat cross-legged; it was Pan Hong.
The cool moonlight poured down like flowing water, streaming from above Pan Hong’s head into his body.
With Yun Yi’s keen eyes, he could see that outside the altar, there was a formation laid down, similar to a spirit-gathering formation. This formation could gather the essence of the moonlight for Pan Hong to absorb.
Yun Yi had not studied formations and restrictions in depth, but back in Red Moon City, when he worked with Black Wind to break the Five Sky Li Fire Formation, he gained some understanding of formations and restrictions, so he could recognize simple ones at a glance.
In the high sky, three strong black eagles floated around the altar, on which stood three men in black, their bodies filled with a demonic aura, surrounded by black smoke, looking like ghosts from the darkness.
Yun Yi knew that these three were the Demon Humans of the eighth grade of the Innate Realm mentioned by Hong Liang, fully enclosing the area around the altar to deal with him, the Hero Flying Tiger who had never shown himself.
According to Hong Liang, aside from Pan Hong, there were a total of five masters of the eighth grade of the Innate Realm in the City Master’s Mansion. The Chief Steward of the pill shop had already been killed by him, leaving three in the sky and one remaining beneath the altar.
After Yun Yi arrived, Pan Hong, who was trying hard to absorb the moonlight, seemed to sense something and immediately opened his eyes to look over.
"Yun Yi, come up, today I want you to experience the power of the blood sacrifice up close."
Pan Hong spoke, as the allure of the Evil Spirit Pill, along with Yun Yi’s performance in recent days, made Pan Hong trust Yun Yi immensely, without a shred of doubt.
"Yes, City Lord."
Yun Yi said, striding toward the altar. He reached the base of the altar, leaped up two meters, touched the altar lightly with his toes, and jumped again another two meters.
In just two or three jumps, Yun Yi stepped directly onto the tall altar, coming close to Pan Hong.
"Yun Yi, how is the Evil Spirit Pill?"
Pan Hong asked eagerly.
"There is not a single problem now, the City Lord can take it right away. After taking the Evil Spirit Pill, we can proceed with the blood sacrifice, and the effect will double."
Yun Yi replied, then flipped his palm and took out the jade box containing the Evil Spirit Pill, handing it to Pan Hong.
When Pan Hong saw the Evil Spirit Pill, his eyes immediately sparkled with endless excitement. This Evil Spirit Pill had always been the treasure he dreamed of, and its attraction to him was simply too great.
Pan Hong took the Evil Spirit Pill in his hands, then gently opened the jade box and carefully took out the Evil Spirit Pill.
"Good, it truly is a wonderful elixir. Yun Yi, your alchemy skills have reached an astonishing level. A perfect pill comes easily to you; I can’t imagine how many Medicine Pill Masters envy such skills."
Pan Hong generously praised Yun Yi.
"Thank you for the compliment, City Lord. Yun Yi is always ready to serve."
Yun Yi said, still showing unwavering loyalty. Before Pan Hong consumed the Evil Spirit Pill, Yun Yi could not reveal anything.
In front, the guards of the City Master were escorting over a thousand young girls who had come out from the back entrance of the City Master’s mansion, heading towards the mountain behind.
"Look, these girls will all become my sacrifices to achieve my supreme dark powers."
Pan Hong said proudly, completely unaware of the coldness in the depths of Yun Yi’s eyes.
Suddenly, the sound of shouting and killing erupted as a large group of Spirit Cultivators armed with war weapons burst out from the back door of the City Master’s mansion. At the same time, two other groups of Spirit Cultivators attacked from different directions.
These people were filled with killing intent, and their attacks were fierce. As soon as they appeared, they killed many of the mansion’s guards. Their goal was very clear: to capture the girls.
The speed of the killing was very fast, quickly heading towards the girls.
However, the people from the City Master’s mansion did not react slowly. As soon as they saw the ambush, they rushed to confront the attackers, and a fierce battle broke out immediately, with killing spreading everywhere.
"City Lord, it is the Hong family, the Fang family, and the Guo family. They dare to cause trouble at this time. It seems they want to stop your blood sacrifice."
Someone spoke up.
"Hmph! These three families truly don’t know what they’re doing. I was planning to let them live for a few more days, but it seems I was too kind. They dare to interfere with my blood sacrifice and delay my cultivation. Since that’s the case, I’ll send them off early. You all, take action and kill everyone from the three families. Protect those girls; they are my offerings."
Pan Hong snorted coldly and ruthlessly issued the order to kill. It was clear that he had long decided to eliminate the three families. He intended to unite Jade Wheel City. Even if the three families did not act today, once Pan Hong completed his blood sacrifice and his power increased, it would mean the end for the three families. This was almost certain.
"Yes, City Lord."
Three Demon Humans rode an enormous eagle and descended from the sky. They jumped off the eagle and joined the battle.
The sounds of shouting and screaming echoed throughout the back mountain, and the air began to fill with the smell of blood.
This was the biggest war in Jade Wheel City, and it affected the lives and deaths of many people.
However, from what was happening in the battle, even though the three major families united, they were still weaker than the City Master’s house and soon fell into a disadvantage, resulting in many injuries.
Hong Liang and Fang Yanshan, the three family leaders, were surrounded by three Demon Humans and one eighth-grade Spirit Cultivator. Battling against four was very challenging for them, and they quickly found themselves in a difficult position. But the three men had to hold on, for once they decided to fight, there was no turning back.
Now, the three major families could only place all their hopes on Yun Yi, praying that Yun Yi could defeat Pan Hong. If Yun Yi could get rid of Pan Hong, the battle might take a different turn. But if Yun Yi failed and was instead defeated by Pan Hong, then this night would mark the end for the three major families.
